* Bill-y Holiday: The Bill of Rights is celebrating its 206th birthday today, and you can celebrate it too by rereading the first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution at https://pacific.discover.net /~dansyr/billrigh.html. Did you know there were originally 12 amendments in the Bill of Rights? That 1789 draft can be found at https://Constitutionby.net/ uSA/BillOfRights.html. The American Civil Liberties Union, a champion of those rights, is at https://www.aclu.org. And https://www.smpcollege.com/ smp_govt/bor.htm has related links, issues and bills of rights for various groups.

If all this history stuff leaves you cold, check out some alternative bills of rights: the New York taxi bill of rights (https://www.tricky.com/nytaxi1.html), the Internet Manifesto (https://hippy.com/manifesto.htm), the physicists bill of rights (https://www.princeton.edu/ ~shelton/funnies/physics.html) and the piercee’s bill of rights (https://www.concentric.net/ ~lagnaf/rights~1.htm). Because every person being pierced has certain inalienable rights.
